that's what history tells us, that's what the international experience tells us. so there's big reforms which will be slow to take effect about the way we pay for health care, about how we decide whether treatment should be applied, but all of that wrapped inside a package that finally gives more or less universal access to health insurance. >> robert samuelson, you have been long skeptical about the cost controls. >> by not controlling health spending we are essentially making this a series of unintended political decisions about what not to spend it on. we're not spending on schools, we're not spending more on basic research. ultimately -- or on defense or national security or national parks. go down the list of things that the government does, most of which are very good and provide high benefits for the public. by not controlling health spending, we are allowing this to squeeze out all of these other public goods, i think to our detriment and we're also putting enormous pressure, upward pressure on taxes and squeezing private incomes. so a decision is being ma
